Registration is now up for the ROTN! www.rulerofthenation.com

[Gary Roberts]

steve, did you get your pm?

[Chris Coletti]

You have to give it to Steve Merritt! I think that given his passion for us pullers he is aiming to be another huge South Eastern tourny!
Thanks my friend for all you do!

[Steve Merritt]

Gary - I just checked my pm's and did not get one from you. I heading to work in just a little bit, but I will call you today.

[TK]

This one sounds real good Steve.....

[Pete & Tim]

Which organization is this event under. I just want to know for the purpose of rules. Rules are very important these days.

[Harry Kern]

I think it's AAA. Last years tournament was a blast and it looks like this years will be even better.

[Pete & Tim]

I just read the whole flyer. It is AAA. DAMN!!!! I hate those rules!!!!!

Hi Karen

[April Coe]

Hey Steve,
I have noticed that everybody even the Novice men get to win money, what about the women? We are paying our entry fees too. I give it to you men, ya'll put on a good show, but we want to be treated fairly as well.

[Steve Merritt]

April, what is this women's rights crap! Treated fairly as well? Just kidding. Hey if you look to the right of the cash prizes up there you will see the women's overall right and Mens 86kg 2nd place overall is sitting off to the right, somehow I messed it up. I told Beth if the Women give me twenty entry's I will put another $100 cash into it for ya'll. Also If the women give me twenty entry's this year, I will make it $400 for 2008. I really enjoy seeing you and Todd again at the B.O.G.

Thanks Todd, Chris and Harry

Pete- Most Southeast pullers are use to AAA rules. Next year, I would like to multi-sanction it if you are interested.

[April Coe]

Now Steve let's be honest, pulling somebody like Beth and Casey is like me trying to pull a brick wall down. These ladies are awsome and to powerful for the 143 and under Ladies in an Overall match. No offense to you Ladies, but we all know that this is a fact. Ya'll are very powerful and I have to much respect for ya'll to lose a friendship over a match because somebody thinks it is one sided.

[Steve Merritt]

April - Okay, how about all 1st place winners(left and right) get a key. The one that opens the box get $100. If the women can get 20 entry's the prize money will be $200. I would like to see you bring Melissa Walker, Maybe Cleave can get Terry, Dana, and Ruth down here. Jacksonville I would like to see Beth, Casey, and Jeana Upton. Christ bring Amanda Wiseman. . Also Nicole Cisco and we have Heather Battles, Heather Barley and Shree. I would like to also Tonya from Arkansas. There's Lisa Whitfield. And I know there's other ladies out there. I ladies classes will be very competitive. How is the lock box Idea? And is it okay with the other ladies? Maybe the women should vote on how it should run. Regardless we will still have a Women's Overall Right. Ya'll decide how the money should be awarded.


Note: When I changed the Date of the tournament, I forgot to change the registration, It is now correct.

[Steve Merritt]

I also forgot about Tennessee, Jenkins, taggart, and I think he Mark has a daughter that pulls.

[TK]
